I've brought pizzas for the collection of Caines

How's mine doing?

Oh your just begging to see the sleepover art, aren't you. Well, you're in luck because I just scanned them in.

(yes, this is why I was asking about the pajama fit)

Right side is Ringmaster's Reminder's Caine, belonging to you, the asker.

Middle is Therapy but interrogation Caine, aka mine.

And last is Abstracted Identity Caine, belonging to @galactic-knightmare

Take some updated concept art for Caine Jacket (chucks this at you)

there are many retellings & adaptional choices i really don't like when it comes to writing new stories about old myths, and that i feel are boring or ignoring interesting points & implications or unfamiliar with the topic or ancient cultural context in a way that rubs me the wrong way. BUT the way some people on here talk about myth retellings as if retelling them is in and of itself a bad thing, or that retellings are somehow 'staining' the 'meaning' of the 'original myth', and Particularly posts that just seem to be hating on the people writing these books not for any real constructive point but just because they think Change Is Bad is going to make me feel bonkers insane fr. come on guys

sometimes i think about the girls telling their families after graduation. and the comedic (but also angst) potential that has

like, imagine the lore dumps they'd have. like, oh yeah, emma accidentally killed miriam that one time, or rikki's been kidnapped four times, or hey, that lady down by the docks people said was a witch? she was actually a mermaid too

oh ho ho!!!! i actually finished a fic !!!! and i'm proud of how it turned out, i think this world is fun and i have so many thoughts about it

Gigi Goode, daughter of Viscount Goode, has always dreamed about the kiss that would make color bloom across her skin. It used to be a faceless person, just something to project her current childhood crushes onto. And then she met Crystal Methyd, her lady's maid, and suddenly her dream soulmate takes a different form. Not that she could ever tell her that, of course, especially since they're such close friends. Still, she lets herself dream. Maybe one day a kiss from her soulmate (that she really should stop imagining as Crystal) will change her life completely, and her aimless fantasies of love, companionship, and a beautiful mosaic of color across her skin will become reality. But until then, she'll keep dreaming.

i'm feeling so blessed in this hybrid oden tonight....

putting this under the cut bc i'm gonna get a lil mushy for a second. i really wanna say thank you so much to everyone who drew kuroba for artfight!! sometimes, it feels like i can't properly put how grateful i am or how much i love every peice of art i've received into words, but knowing that people like my silly little oc really means the world to me and makes me so happy. everyone drew them so beautifully, getting to see them in everyone's style made me so freaking giddy!!

this last month was kinda rough on me since i finally caught covid after successfully avoiding it for 4 years, but all of the kindness everyone has shown me ( on af and on here ) really helped keep my spirits up. so uh. thank you again for all of that, it really means a lot!! 🥺✨️

legit tho vince is so sensitive about his cooking bc it's really just ??? all he has?

like, it was the one passion he pursued in life, the one way he could connect to people because c'mon (food bringing people together? getting to someone's heart through their stomach?), and in his younger days, he absolutely was able to cook with love

but as soon as he lost his ability to taste and he personally could no longer feel the same joy the people around him felt, that passion changed

it's something he's good at

he knows what flavors go well together he knows the techniques he knows the . . . science of it, for the most part

but all of the feelings that used to go with it are warped and bitter and make his dishes seem . . . well, lacking the soul they could otherwise have

and GOOD GRAVY he's sensitive about that because he wants his dishes to feel like that. he wants people to feel things from his cooking; he just doesn't know how to imbue that anymore now that so many sour feelings surround it, now that he's more or less just cooking bc . . . it's what he's good at.

(someone criticizes his dishes in that way and internally??? he's like YEAH I KNOW)

he can learn again he can learn again he will learn again i will not rest until he's learned again—

Update about the fanarts stuff to anyone follows me for the fandom:

Yeah.

Because of my schedule to do webcomic series to post it monthly or 2, I think I believe its time for me to discontinue to do some fanarts/fancomics/fananimations for now. That doesn't mean that I had to stop it COMPLETELY! I STILL DO FANARTS but not as active as before.

Why, you ask? urm.....I did mention webcomic guys..... I had to confess to you all that the reason that I started to focus more on that instead is because I was planning for this long time ago. When I got the idea concept for my new webcomic series (PunkISH STAR is not the first btw), like 2 or 3 years ago, I was preparing to conceptually character sketches on my new OCs and writing it for that long!!! After I posted first episode, I got few positive comments of it and it got me more motivate to do more! (except rn i got burnout so I believe this chapter might be post VERY late than ever..lol....)

Trying my best to say this to avoid yall booing me, I still appreciate the way you guys liking and reblogging my fanarts alot, to be honest. But the way how my art from medias I'm fan of got more attention than my original art pieces, that kinda overwhelmed me alot LMAO

Just want to point it out I am an artist, but not in fan artist way. I draw fanarts for fun. But I need yall to know that I need to focusing on my story to keep write on.

So I welcoming you guys more to like and reblog my OCs mostly from hashtag #PunkISHSTAR !!! appreciate it hehe giggles thats it

Hello again it is still me i finished reading the annotations for "pure identity"!!!!! (im a slow reader, i know)

Oh god, please, please, PLEASE tell me u have annotations for ur other stuff as well!! It's not a want, it's a need. I need to pull apart every individual wrinkle in ur brain. Im sorry, i sound so insane rn but ur fic has genuinely got me feverish. Besides the fact that it was utterly perfect the annotations added even more enjoyment, from the lore callbacks (which are insanely underused imo when it comes to venti specifically) to the style (the double parentheses especially got me feeling like a loose tooth), to the explanations of the the thought process!!! It was just so so good!! Everything was so enhanced by the annotations i feel like im going a bit feral. I loved every little explanation and history of the draft. Thank u!!!!!! Thank u for writing it in the first place, thank u for sharing it and thank u for opening it and urself up so much through the annotations, i genuinely have no words, this has been an Experience and i feel changed ahshwhhshahwhajjsha

((Also, I think I'm envious of you, a little bit. It's so clear how much you love your writing. I haven't been able to write myself in years but this is the first time that I've missed it so painfully. Your writing is beautiful and it will haunt me.))

funny you should mention the annotated version bc i actually made it for another person who was driven mad upon first reading it (hi, artemis!!). it was a lot of fun to make, since pure identity is a fic where i put a lot, a lot of thought into almost every single word i wrote, which was in no small part bc i wrote it as an homage to an anime which changed my life w/o me fully realizing it until years later (flip flappers).

i~~~ unfortunately only have annotations for some of my other fics. it's a lot of work to annotate a fic the way i did pure identity, esp after the fact (rest in pieces that one multichaptered bnha fic i wrote back in 2018 that i never finished annotating in a similar way…), so i usually have better things to do than go back n chat abt a whole fic from start to finish from scratch (esp. since most people just comment on their favorite lines or moments n i get an excuse to talk abt the thought processes n history going into them :3), but there are some which do have annotations archived!!! most notable would probably be for the birds, since what gets archived are just all the notes i make to myself as i'm writing each chapter lol.

still, it feels great to know that the annotations were such a hit!!! i don't hear abt people reading them often (let alone hear their thoughts after the fact, if they get around to it at all lol), but i like doing them anyway bc they tend to attract the type of thoughtful person i prefer to be around hehe.

plus, it's fun to hear authors dissect their own writing!!!! n you're so very correct that i love my own writing dearly. i worked hard to get to where i am now, n pure identity was written in the thick of my most recent major growing period as a writer, so the incredible feedback on it has always meant a lot to me.

i often view my fics as like… performances of sorts, in a sense, probably bc i did competitive speech (under humorous interpretation) back in high school. by the time i reach the end notes, there's a sense of being breathless in the spotlight (bc "if you're not sweating by the end, you're not doing it right"), bc if i've done my job right, then the audience will have forgotten that the character was never real in the first place as they watch it drop away and meet the actor underneath for the first time.

i think pure identity was the first time i started to feel like i was executing my job at a level i had previously only dreamed of.

((i once stopped writing fic altogether for a year bc someone said to me, "who would ever want to read something you wrote?"))

((i hope that you, too, will be able to someday write again.))
